Lev 1:17 And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Lev 2:16 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Lev 3:17 It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.
Lev 4:1 The LORD commanded Moses
Lev 4:2 to tell the people of Israel that anyone who sinned and broke any of the LORD's commands without intending to, would have to observe the following rules.
Lev 5:15 If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:
Ignorance is not an excuse. Either one learn the hard way, that is, by making restitution, or one learn the easy way by taking the time to learn the Lord’s commandments.
The rules on sacrifices for the sin offering also acted as economic sanctions to the sinners.
The Lord demands perfection in sacrifices.
So many regulations, it seems that these regulations not only acted as a guide but they also acted as a sort of civilizing reigns for the primitive Israelites.
